Job Description
Roles & Responsibilities
We re hiring a Project Manager to drive execution of strategic and operational projects in Financial Services.You ll run structured delivery across a wide range of initiatives launching new services, integrating external partners, rolling out compliance and KYC/KYB policies, improving cash operations with agents/super agents, enabling new payment flows, etc.
You sit in the middle of Product, Compliance, Finance/Treasury, Engineering, Ops, and Growth. Your job is simple: keep the plan real, keep owners accountable, and land the project in production with minimal drama.
- 1. Project Delivery :
- Own and drive end-to-end delivery of Financial Services projects from kick-off through launch.
- Build and maintain clear project plans: scope, milestones, owners, deadlines, risks.
- Push the project forward daily, unblock issues, and escalate when needed (before it s on fire).
- 2. Cross-Functional Coordination :
- Align Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance/Treasury, Ops, Growth, and external partners around one plan.
- Make sure each team knows: what they owe, by when, and what happens if they slip.
- Capture decisions in writing and circulate updates so there is one source of truth.
- 3. Regulatory & Compliance Readiness :
- Work with Compliance to ensure that projects respect internal policies (KYC/KYB, limits, AML triggers, cash handling, reporting).
- Collect required documentation (policies, procedures, approval flows) and make sure they re in place before go-live.
- 4. Operational Readiness :
- Ensure operational teams (agent network, support, finance ops, treasury, etc.) are ready to run the flow on Day 1.
- Confirm that we know: who monitors transactions, how refunds or reversals work, escalation path for incidents, and how money settles.
- 5. Launch & Stabilization :
- Coordinate testing/UAT and sign-offs.
- Run the go-live checklist and confirm all blockers are closed.
- Monitor early performance and ensure any urgent post-launch fixes get an owner.
- On-time delivery of committed milestones.
- Quality of launch (no major incident in first days/weeks).
- Internal alignment: Compliance, Finance, and Ops signing off before go-live (not after).
- Clarity of communication no surprises for leadership.
Desired Candidate Profile
- Must-haves :
- ~2 4 years of experience in fintech / payments / banking / telecom value-added services / PSP / wallet / financial operations / similar high-ownership environment.
- You ve previously managed or coordinated delivery of cross-functional projects (not only followed up, but actually drove timelines).
- You re comfortable sitting with engineers to clarify requirements AND sitting with Ops/Treasury to confirm how money moves.
- You re disciplined with tracking: action logs, RAID logs (Risks / Assumptions / Issues / Dependencies), status reports.
- Strong written communication. If something isn t written down, you assume it s not real.
- Nice to have :
- Exposure to regulated financial products (wallets, P2P, bill payment, settlement, limits/KYC).
- Understanding of how funds flow, settlement/reconciliation, refunds, or cash collection works.
- Familiarity with compliance topics (KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, limits by tier, AML escalation paths).
- Experience coordinating external partners / vendors / billers.
- Soft skills we care about
- You escalate early, not emotionally.
- You follow through. People learn that if you say I ll track this, it s tracked.
- You re comfortable saying no, we re not ready to launch yet if Compliance/Finance hasn t signed off.
- You like structure. When there is none, you create it.
